My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. He will be greatly missed but he is in a much better home where he will not ever suffer again.
To The Woody family. You have all been very close for many years. We have been through a lot over the years. I really appreciate the times that Ray allowed me to preach when I was young and just starting out. That has been alot of years ago, but I have never forgotten them. I am truly sorry that I was not at the funeral or at visitation. I was in Raleigh all last week and didn’t know of Ray’s passing until Thursday Night. God’s blessings to all of you.
